Brief Summary - Experienced Commercial Airline Pilot, Captain Whit Whitaker [Denzel Washington] heroically man-handles a malfunctioning plane [like a BOSS]. The resulting investigations,takes the audience on a roller coaster ride that reveals much more than mechanical failure.
Rating - On a scale of 1 to 10 Flight is worthy of a 4.5
Movie Strengths - Denzel is an exceptional actor, and he is surrounded by equally talented cast members such as Don Cheadle, John Goodman and Bruce Greenwood.
Movie Weaknesses - Trite script and humdrum action.
Final Thoughts - The ONLY reason anyone should go see this movie is you are a die hard fan of Denzel's work! This film is a dark character study about a man struggling with his demons, he's hit rock bottom and somehow he manages to dig himself deeper. In other words, if no A-list actors appeared in this film it may have gone straight to DVD.
